The village of Lugny is located high up in the South of the Mâcon region. It has a great reputation for its white wines which has made Mâcon famous. It is well known that the village of Lugny, with its limestone soils and warm climate, produces the most coveted white wines of the region. The vineyard of « Les Genièvres » is one of the best. Maison Louis Latour selects the best grapes of this village, which thanks to its terroir, was the only village planted with Chardonnay 30 years ago.

The 2015 Mâcon Lugny "Les Genièvres" is characterized by a pale yellow color and an aromatic nose of citrus fruit. The mouth is ample and offers delicious musky flavors with a beautiful intensity in final.

It will provide a beautiful match for a plate of
grilled fish or shellfish. Despite the fact that no oak is used here, there is
still the sort of buttery, nutty notes found in oaked wines from further north.
There are light aromas of dried flowers, butter and macadamia while the palate
has a waxy, muscat feel with notes of grapefruit and pineapple. (Andy Cronshaw, UK)
